Clothing: Test: Gloryfy G9 XTR Blue - Better performance through special light filter?

5 October 2017 by Florian Nowak

Test: Gloryfy has recently made a name for itself on the cycling market with the "Unbreakable" and Made in Austria seal of approval. All glasses in the Unbreakable series should have an unbreakable frame, lenses and temples. Of course, we didn't go that far in our tests, but we can still confirm that the Gloryfy G9 XTR Blue made an extremely stable and robust impression.

Gloryfy G9 XTR Blue - Lens

The frameless design of the G9 XTR gives you a generous field of vision and is in no way restricted. In addition, this means that hardly any air accumulates under the glasses and thus ensures good ventilation. The contour lens technology gives you a high-contrast and true-color view that delivers solid performance. Unfortunately, the glass is somewhat poorly coated, which is why water and dirt roll off with great difficulty and can quickly obstruct the view. Another feature of the glass is said to influence performance, because the blue light is not filtered like in conventional glasses, which is said to have a positive effect on the body's performance. Unfortunately we didn't feel much of this effect, but maybe it will help someone.



Gloryfy G9 XTR Blue - Fit

One of the lightest materials on the market was chosen for the frame. However, unbreakable NBFX frames, lenses and temples are guaranteed throughout the Unbreakable range, designed to protect cyclists during sport when it matters most. The so-called memory effect of the frame allows the glasses to always return to their original shape. The nose pads and side bars can be adjusted as usual and are quite comfortable to wear overall. However, the glasses seem a bit unstable and don't sit perfectly on the head.

Gloryfy G9 XTR Blue – Packaging & Accessories

The Gloryfy G9 XTR Blue is something different in terms of design, which is also reflected in the packaging, presentation and homepage of the brand. When it comes to accessories, you have to make do with a microfiber cloth and a soft case.

The Gloryfy G9 XTR Blue initially promises a very good concept, which, however, fails a bit in the implementation and therefore has to lose a few points on all levels. The wide field of view and your high-contrast image are among the highlights of a rather mixed performance.
